Description Just me coming up with a tactical maneuver.  Too often sci-fi writers treat space combat like two old sailing ships trading broadsides.  I wanted to do something VERY different.

Yes, people forget to study air to air combat for this sort of thing, rather than 'battleship' combat

Maybe this is where Kirk got the idea to sneak up behind the Reliant in the Mutara Nebula.  Venthen's profile suggested that they knew each other.

Could be, but this is way more spectacular than just playing "submarines" like Kirk did.

Too true, something then Admiral Kirk and a heavily damaged USS Enterprise was able to exploit against Kahn.
